If you’re like me, counting the days until Sly Stallone assaults our senses with his muscle-massed actioner THE EXPENDABLES, you know the shite hits theaters in exactly 93 days. What’s a dude to do until then?!?
I’ve got an idea. How about checking out a rad new still from production, which shows the ultimate badass-ery of Stallone himself, Jet Li, Terry Crews, Jason Statham and I believe Randy Couture (but I’m not certain who the dude in back is). The image first premiered in People Magazine, and has now been made available exclusively on the films official Facebook Page. But regardless of how it got to us, it’s here now…and that’s all that matters for cryin’ out loud.
Also starring such action legends as Dolph Lundgren, Mickey Rourke, Danny Trejo, Eric Roberts, Stone Cold Steve Austin, as well as cameos from Bruce Willis and Arnold “I’ll be baaaach” Schwarzenegger – THE EXPENDABLES tells the story of:
Barney Ross (Sylvester Stallone), a man with nothing to lose. Fearless and void of emotion, he is the leader, the sage and the strategist of this tight-knit band of men who live on the fringe. His only attachment is to his pickup truck, his seaplane and his team of loyal modern-day warriors. His is a true cynic who describes what he does as removing those hard to get at stains. The team behind him is made up of Lee Christmas (Jason Statham), former SAS and a savant with anything that has a blade; Yin Yang (Jet Li), a master at close-quarter combat; Hale Caesar (Terry Crews), who has known Barney for ten years and is a long-barrel weapons specialist; Toll Road (Randy Couture), a skilled demolitions expert and considered the intellect of the group; and Gunnar Jensen (Dolph Lundgren), a combat veteran and an expert in precision sniping who struggles with his own demons.
Sly co-wrote the script with Dave Callaham.
THE EXPENDABLES launch August 13th!
I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: something tells me Charisma Carpenter will NOT be ependable in the flick!
